This is yet another enchanting piece performed by
Christopher Parkening who I believe was a student
of Segovia. As the previous poster pointed out,
there are in fact no Tedesco pieces to be found in
tablature format so it is a treat.

This piece is also relatively not that difficult to
play so it is a good exercise in practicing your
technique. Remember to emphasize the 1st and 4th notes...
